DOne babysitting.... had another incident that left me with fuming red cheeks and I am not the mother of this little boy. I worked at a partial care while pregnant with Tally and had kids JUST like him there...and I did not enjoy it and was ready to be done when it was over...to never return.
If anything, it's helped the kids know how to treat adults. Lots of discussions on that. And they know it's never okay to not apologize when they do something wrong. That's where it always starts with this boy. He refuses to say sorry so he has a choice, timeout of sorry...and then comes the name calling-at me and the slapping away and kicking toys, etc. Yeah...out of no where! Super sweet boy but the minute he is in trouble he retreats--and trouble here just means he needs to say sorry. what's so wrong with that?
Anyway, I am not a very good "mom" to kids I babysit. I know that-more than ever now. My heart only truly loves my own children...maybe that makes me a horrible woman...since I lack the natural nurturing ability with kids that aren't my own...who knows. I am just not good at it and I'm ready to just focus on being a better than lousy mom of my own kids.
Anyways, it's always nice to quit a job/be let go via text. Oh well. awkward!
even more awkward is having my parents downstairs while I strictly and cooly dealt with the simple situation that blew up into so much more than it should have been. dumb dumb dumb.
Tighter budget...again... but at least we have our tax return just in case...
